The grant of a patent does not provide evidence of effectiveness for a particular use. It only provides the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention.
Drug regulatory agencies such as the FDA in the United States, EMA in Europe, and NMPA in China, have a rigorous process for approving drugs. The process involves multiple phases, including pre-clinical research, clinical research, and post-marketing risk assessments 1 (https://www.drugs.com/fda-approval-process.html)2 (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/development-approval-process-drugs)3 (https://www.drugwatch.com/fda/approval-process/). The regulatory agencies evaluate the safety and efficacy of a drug based on the data submitted by the drug manufacturer. The benefits of a drug are considered along with its risks, and the regulatory agencies approve a drug only if its benefits outweigh its risks (https://www.drugs.com/fda-approval-process.html)2 (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/development-approval-process-drugs)3 (https://www.drugwatch.com/fda/approval-process/).
However, it is important to note that the regulatory agencies do not consider all benefits of a drug in their approval process. They only consider the benefits that are supported by scientific evidence and data from clinical trials 1 (https://www.drugs.com/fda-approval-process.html)2 (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/development-approval-process-drugs)3 (https://www.drugwatch.com/fda/approval-process/)
.
The regulatory agencies also consider the severity of the disease that the drug is intended to treat and the availability of alternative treatments 2 (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/development-approval-process-drugs).
In summary, drug regulatory agencies consider the benefits of a drug in their approval process, but only if they are supported by scientific evidence and data from clinical trials. They also consider the risks of the drug and the severity of the disease that the drug is intended to treat 1 (https://www.drugs.com/fda-approval-process.html)2 (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/development-approval-process-drugs)3 (https://www.drugwatch.com/fda/approval-process/).
